Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Lakewood

Friendly service was matched with excellent seafood at very reasonable prices! From this point forward I will be tempted to go to Sam & Dave’s for my Mitchell’s Ice Creams. The price is the same at both !

Food was fantastic, drinks took a while and weren't very good. But next time I'll have wine. Overall, it was a great meal. Had lobster risotto, was a large portion, and tasted amazing.

I have nothing but fantastic things to say about the Palazzo! We arrived in town late and made a last minute reservation based on a recommendation from my foodie dad. They did not rush us even as were a late reservation. The food was fantastic. The service equally as good. Homemade upscale Italian at its finest at a reasonable price. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Restaurant Review: A Perfect Celebration for My Fiancé’s 24th Birthday Last night, we had the pleasure of dining at Pier W, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. We were there to celebrate my fiancé’s 24th birthday, and from the moment we walked in, everything exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with just the right balance of elegance and comfort. The staff went above and beyond to make the night special, starting with a warm greeting and a surprise birthday acknowledgment for my fiancé. The food was phenomenal. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. We started with the calamari as our appetizer, it was the best I have ever had. I got the Grilled Mahi as my entree and my fiancé got the Chef’s special (Swordfish). Both dishes were above and beyond. It was clear that a lot of thought and care went into each plate. What truly stood out, though, was the personal touches. At the end of the meal, the staff brought out a complimentary dessert for my fiancé. We also enjoyed complementary champagne with our meals. This was our first visit, but it certainly won’t be our last. Pier W made this milestone birthday celebration absolutely perfect, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. If you’re looking for amazing food, stellar service, and an unforgettable experience, this is the place to go!

The food was all great! Waiter was knowledgeable and attentive! There are good options for GF and V and the waiter was able to have other menu options prepared to accommodate those. A neighborhood gem that I was not aware of until I found on Opentable! We'll be back.
